Benchmarking solid state drives is a highly exciting venture as it is always unpredictable and prone to produce heaps of new information. With hard disk drives, dramatic innovations occur but rarely and you often can foretell how the particular model...

There is no doubt that solid state drives have come a long way, and can continue to push the limits. Kingston is right up there with the other leading manufacturers by implementing the latest technology as it becomes available. While the Intel drive...

There’s a lot to like about Kingston’s relaunch of the SSDNow V+ series, not least – the typical headline for SSDs and the benefits they offer. The inclusion of TRIM right out of the box is great too – we’ve had to wait...
